COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Before as 8%.
Very dark, coffee color - full rich body - staying head - effervescent nose - soft velvet feeling in the mouth - luscious. Malt character with a hoppy aftertouch. Monks used to fast on this type of beer for 40 days! No food, only beer.

Pours clear copper with a thick and fairly persistent beige head. Aroma presents fruity and toasted malt notes. Flavor kicks these both up a notch and adds caramel and a touch of resiny hops to the mix. Mouthfeel offers good body and fair fizz. Lucky monks, living on this for 40 days!

0,33l bottle. Cloudy dark ruby colour with big but quickl shrinking and staying tan head. Aroma: Candy sugar, light cognac notes with matured cheese/yeast tones. Taste: Sweet malty/bready start with a significant bitter mouthfeel. The malty caracter is overwhelmed by the bitter tone and not in a good way, makes an overall unbalanced feel. Medium/full body with fizzy carbonation. Long bitter and very dry finish. The bitterness, the short malty feel, the dry finish and the fizzy carb. drives the beer to a different direction from the original dubbel caracteristics.
